Dear Renee: Perhaps you have read "Medieval Theology and the Natural Body" Edited by Peter Biller and A.J. Minnis (York 1997). It contains an article by The Ceramic Doctor on "Women's Bodies and Medieval Impediments to Female Ordination" and one by Dyan Elliott on "The Physiology of Rapture and Female Spirituality." It even contains one by myself (quamquam indignus) entitled "This Body of Death: Abelard, Heloise and the Religious Life." The Supple Doctor. ===== ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
